Sequencing

ការរៀបរាប់លំដាប់លំដោយ

🎯 Objective / គោលបំណង:

Connect your sentences. Don't sound like a robot! Use First, Then, and Finally.

💬 Scenario: My Morning Routine

Robot Mode (Bad) "I wake up. I brush my teeth. I eat breakfast. I go to work."

(Too choppy. No connection.)

Flow Mode (Good) "First, I wake up at 6 AM."

Flow Mode (Good) "Then, I brush my teeth and get dressed."

Flow Mode (Good) "After that, I eat breakfast with my family."

Flow Mode (Good) "Finally, I go to work at 8 AM."

The Timeline

1. The Start ដំបូង

Use First or First of all.
"First, I wake up."

2. The Middle បន្ទាប់មក

Use Then, Next, or After that.
"Then, I eat."
⚠️ Careful: "After" needs a noun. (e.g. "After breakfast"). "After that" is safer.

3. The End ចុងក្រោយ

Use Finally.
"Finally, I sleep."
